First good comment/analysis in this thread. Right or wrong, at least it is well written and reasoned.ConservativeWave » 10 Apr 2025, 3:40 pm » wrote: ↑ WHY isn't there a WACKO Liberal out there who thinks this Trump didn't plan this all along? The bottom line, he took a stock market that had been declining because of Trumps attempt to RE-ASSESS the 60 year tariff problem... USED the declining stock market to get the WORLDS attention... He:
1) Made the WORLD believe that he was willing to CRASH the market to make tariff re-assessment happen,
2) Got China to dump bonds, and perpetuate the trade war to make the stock market crash even worse,
3) CONVINCED the rest of the world to NOT got to TRADE WAR with America, but TALK,
4) China however started an all out TRADE WAR against America, AND THEN...
5) America, called for a 90 day pause so the 70+ countries who WANTED to come to a deal COULD talk (Everybody BUT China), AND
6) America, IMPOSED a 150% tariff on China, essentially BANNING their products from America... and left them standing with their PUTZ hanging out...
7) While the market BOOMED...
TELL me that all that was NOT Planned.... MAYBE not pre ordained... because China had the free will to choose their path... and they CHOSE a TRADE War... WELL, Trump took the appropriate steps, and YOU can bet, TODAY... China feels... Isolated, BOXED into a corner, STUPID, and that they have NO GOOD options... RIGHT where trump wants them !!
Today, the market tested the lows and was no where near them ( and it might still not be over ), but chances are the markets will hold, and recover, America gets all the trade agreements reviewed (except China) to make deals... and CHINA is going to have a MUCH TOUGHER road to hoe...
So, TELL ME what happened that WAS/IS NOT GOOD for America ??
